I can't think of a more perfect combination for a dress than pink and flowers! Adorned in embroidered daisies, this pretty coral pink Betsey Johnson dress is as comfortable as it is pretty. Best yet, it has a very forgiving silhouette that flatters a lot of different figures.

Thought this would be the perfect day to share my watermelon pink owl purse with you, too. I probably wouldn't wear it with the dress pictured above as it would be too much pink! I have this owl purse in black as well and I think that will perfectly with the coral dress.

And just when you don't think you can take any more pink (is that possible?), here's one last goodie to share. I found these sweet pink and lace for the bargain price of $10! They only had one pair left in my size 6, so I guess it was meant to be! Can't wait to wear these.

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of wellies. So I can't begin to say how elated I was to happen upon these two pairs of wellies deeply discounted at my Target store of all places. I found them in the kids shoe section--perhaps that's why they still had some left? Splashes of pink add a playful touch to both sets of boots. These are size 4 kids and the left pair was $17 and the right pair $20. I couldn't snap them up fast enough for those prices.

And this is what happens when a certain curious kitty decides to check out what you're photographing! My dear cat Poe seems to find these boots as interesting as I do!

I've been coveting these adorable English wellies. They might be next in my growing collection!

If you're local to the Des Moines, Iowa, area and are interested in either of these clothes, email me at tkhook@msn.com.

Pink coat $20 (If interested, email and I can provide measurements from shoulder to shoulder and armpit to armpit). This is a lightweight coat that has been worn but not by me (I meant to wear it but never did and now it's too big for me). It's in great shape and while not brand spanking new, is in good condition. Sorry it's wrinkled but I didn't have time to do any pressing this week. LOL!

About Me

I am a magazine writer and quilt book editor by day and an avid quilter, dollmaker, and crafter by night.
I have a passion for patterns of the past, though I appreciate many different styles of quilting.
Living in an 1885 yellow brick Victorian home inspires me to create doll quilts and papier mache dolls reminiscent of yesteryear. I'm most at home surrounded by antiques and vintage finds that recall a simpler time.
